In Memory of Alan Carlisle: Help His Family

It is with deep sadness and shock that our family shares the passing of Alan Carlisle on June 28th, 2025.

He was a loving husband and father, and a bright light in a dark world. To that world, Alan was a brilliant mind whose intellect and contributions left an indelible mark. But to his family, he was our world.

We are holding each other close as we navigate this profound loss. Seeing the outpouring of love and support from Alan’s community—be it professional, friends, family, neighbors, and all walks of life—has been beautiful and humbling. We are treasuring your stories, sentiments, and memories, some of which we’re hearing for the first time.

Above all, Alan was family-first. Alan has provided for us from day 1, and never wanted us to feel the burden or weight of navigating the financial complexities of life. That was an area in which he was an expert, and he was happy to handle it all—to us, today, it’s all new. And truthfully, daunting.

So many of you have asked how you can help.

As we navigate the aftermath of Alan’s passing, we’ve created this GoFundMe as a way to ease some of the practical and unexpected financial burdens ahead, and allow us space to grieve.

Any contribution is deeply appreciated. This will not only help us with interim day-to-day expenses, it will also help us cover costs for Alan’s memorial service. The service is being planned and details will be shared once they’re finalized, though timing will most likely be in August or September as we work through finding the right space and location.

We’d love to hear from you.

We're putting together a collection of memories, photos, and stories to honor Alan’s life—something for all of us who loved him to hold onto. Whether you knew him as family, a friend, a colleague, a mentor, or an adidas-wearing rapper of GenX hits, we’d be grateful for anything you’re comfortable offering: a photo, a story, a small moment that stuck with you, or simply a few words about who Alan was to you.

Please share as your heart moves you using this link.

With love,

Monique, Tad, and Brynn (and his pups, Jemma and Waylon)

To Alan: We miss you. We love you. You will be in our hearts forever. I know you have our song on repeat in heaven.
